Carbamazepine (CBZ), a typical pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP), has an annual global consumption exceeding several thousand tons. Its molecular structure contains symmetrical nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycles, which resist degradation by conventional biochemical methods, resulting in persistent aquatic pollution. Integrating photocatalytic processes with Fenton reaction provides a targeted approach for its effective elimination from aquatic systems. However, traditional photo-Fenton systems suffer from inefficient Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox cycling due to sluggish Fe³⁺ regeneration and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. To address these challenges, this study designed a facet-engineered BiVO 4 photocatalyst through selective deposition of FeOx nanoparticles on the electron-rich (010) facets of monoclinic BiVO 4 via hydrothermal and photodeposition methods. The optimized FeOx/BiVO 4 composite exhibited exceptional degradation performance for CBZ, achieving a rate constant of 0.317 min -1 , which is 24-fold higher than that of pristine BiVO 4 . Mechanistic investigations revealed that the selective FeOx deposition not only promoted the valence-state transition of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ but also enhanced charge carrier separation, thereby establishing a sustainable Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox cycle. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and radical quenching experiments further identified hydroxyl radicals (·OH) as the dominant reactive species. This work provides a paradigm for designing efficient photo-Fenton reaction systems through targeted facet engineering, offering broad implications for the remediation of PPCPs.

In this work, novel Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD nanoparticle was synthesized for the catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) towards carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation. The effect of α-CD content, Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD dosage and PMS concentration on the catalyst activity were systematically evaluated. The results showed the synergistic effect between α-CD and Fe 3 O 4 can greatly improve the removal efficiency of CBZ in the Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD/PMS system. CBZ removal efficiency gained 73.37% in 5 min at pH 7.0 with PMS 1 mM, Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD load 0.4 g/L and CBZ 10 μM. The variation in the removal efficiency of different PPCPs under the same conditions mainly ascribed to the adsorption of α-CD and the activation of PMS by Fe 3 O 4 to generate free radicals, in which sulfate radical (SO 4 ·− ) and hydroxyl radicals ( · OH) was determined as the reactive species in the Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD/PMS system. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations was also utilized to optimize the structure of composite and confirmed that the charge distribution mainly concentrate on Fe 3 O 4 . As deduced from the LC-MS analysis, the possible CBZ degradation pathways were proposed. CBZ degradation efficiency still reached 54% after three cycle, which indicates that Fe 3 O 4 @α-CD catalyst has a good reusability potential and practical applications.

The efficient degradation of emerging pollutants in water, represented by CBZ, is receiving increasing attention from all sectors of society. Although advanced oxidation reactions represented by Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade emerging pollutants, the problem of iron sludge that comes with it is hindering the further promotion of this technology. Herein, UiO-66(Zr)-2OH material was synthesized by hydrothermal method and loaded with Pd 0 NPs on the surface of the material by in situ reduction. The MOFs-H 2 -Accelerated Catalytic Fenton system was constructed by accelerating the regeneration of Fe(II) in the system by activating the [H] produced by H 2 introduced into the system at room temperature and pressure. Within 180 min, the removal of the target pollutant CZB could reach more than 99 % under the condition of only 25 µmol of Fe(II) and 25 mmol of H 2 O 2 .

Piezo-photocatalytic processes based on heterogeneous catalysts, by establishing electronic fast track to realize electronic storage and conversion, are proved to be effective ways to improve the efficiency of PMS activation. Herein, α-SnWO 4 /ZnO catalyst with p-n heterojunction was constructed to testify the piezo-photocatalytic effect on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for pollution control. The decomposition rate of carbamazepine (CBZ) in the piezo-photocatalytic PMS activation process by α-SnWO 4 /ZnO heterojunction was 12.6 and 5.2 times to that by ZnO and α-SnWO 4 processes, respectively. In addition, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate of CBZ reached 89%, and TOC in the actual water body was also effectively removed. Free radical quenching and detection experiments showed that nonradicals ( 1 O 2 ) and free radicals (O 2 − , OH) were the mainly active species of the process, by which the toxicity of the intermediates of CBZ was significantly reduced by the combination of the radical and nonradical pathways through hydroxylation and singlet oxygen oxidation . Furthermore, the influences of the experimental factors, including the initial pH, PMS concentration, temperature and reuse of catalysts on CBZ degradation were evaluated. Notably, the activation energy (Ea) in this work was calculated as 34.2 kJ mol −1 , which was lower than that of other reported systems. Overall, this work can scientifically guide the design of high-performance piezo-photocatalysts to use common metals for efficient activation of PMS as economical alternatives over expensive rare metal catalysts for water purification.
